| VALUABLE STATE REPUBLICAN
ORGAN.

Those of our readers who desire to see
all of the mean things said of Wichita and
the EAGLE, especially by the papers of
Kansas, would do well to subscribe for the
official paper of the state, the organ Of the
state officers, the Topeka Capital. The
above enterprising paper contains also a
wilderness of choice literary matter such as
is manipulated by saw in inter box.
Two extra men are employed on the edit
orial staff, besides saw sharpener, in
keeping up this especial and valuable fea-
ture. All the other members of the staff
put in their time in scanning country pa
pers for clippings against Marsh Murdoch
and Wichita. These are the marked char
acteristics of the Capital, but do not COM
pr ehend all the enterprisipg lines and
valuable adjuncts of that sheet, whose
editor was never in Wichita but once, and
then for the purpose of making a speech
against the Republican party. The city
council might do well to subscribe for a
few extra copies of the Capital for gratuit-
Gus distribution among the Wichita police
commissioners and their force. 1t would
daily furnish them with world of pleas
ure and consolation.

KANSAS SOLDIERS.

Senator Plumb in an Grafton on the
Fourth of July said: kansas has pop
ulation CT one and one fourth million PEG
pie that were enjoying most gratifying
measure of prosperity. In times of their
deepest trouble they had come out victor
ious, aud if they seemed at times little
downcast, they were not respondent; they
were it appeared, only waiting to get q
letter hold 1t is not question OF climate,
Il Is a question of men. Kansas had the
selocficn of the best men In the union
pen who had learned wisdom, endurance,
perseverance and courage in the
war of the rebellion. After
the war had closed. the old
soldiers began to scatter out from their old
names, and thousands of them came &c
Kansas. There were more old soldiers In
Kausas, comparing from outside her bord
en-. than in any other state in the Union
These men were the flower of their respec
live communities they represented the en-
ergy and the progress of the states, and
coming to Kansas they built our towns oul
churches and our schools; they made the
beautiful Kansas farms; they moulded oul
public institutions, and 1t was no wonder
we were prosperous. The old soldier can
say to us, you can sit in this assembly be
cause gave you peace: you can unfurl the
old flag and reverence 1t because I was
faithful. Kansas is very proud of thi:
class of her citizens.
Wichita eagle., 1887-07-17
DIED OUT.

The commotion caused by Senator In
gals speech at Abilene, seems to have
nearly spent its force. This speech and
the comments concerning it, furnish one OF
the strongest incidents in politics, that we
have ever witnessed. The first unfriendly
criticism was given to the public by the
Topeka Capital, which was followed by a
long line of smaller papers in this state.
The venom and spite shown toward our
senior senator by the Capital and its pack
of petty followers would indicate that Sen
ator ingalls, had betrayed the republican
party. Mr.. ingalls, offence was said to be
that he had declared negro suffrage to have
been failure. The most remarkable fea-
ture of this assault on Mr.. ingalls, by these
papers was that not one of them ever in
auired what he meant. We do not believe
one In ten of these papers that were
PLAYING second fiddle to the
Capital can tell why they objected to the
statement that negro suffrage was failure.
1t is a matter of fact that such Republicans
as Blaine and Sherman would not have OBJ
jected to Senator Ingalls, idea on that sub
ject. These remarks are not made with
a view of bringing up the matter for dis
cussion, but simply to remind some of the
papers of how foolish they acted.

WHY WICHITA FAILED TO PROSPER

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil SAYS: Elk
perience has proved that the prosperity of
a city is not dependent upon the liquor in
terest The cities of Topeka, Leaven-
worth, Fort Scott and Atchison, Kansas,
are prosperous, and yet the liquor traffic In
these towns is abated.-Capital.
And thus reasoning, the executive board,
no doubt, concluded that the why Wichita
failed to prosper in the same way the towns
named did was because Wichita was IL
dulging in too much drink and too little
business, so at the suggestion of men, a
number of whom have no use for the Re
publican party and who if they voted for
the present state officers did so under pro-
test, they took Nichita's government out
OF the hands of its Republican mayor who
was also Prohibitionist. Our obligations
as people are very great for the active
concern of the chief executive for our pros
perity, but we are panied in acknowledg
ing that we have whole hosts of mutton
heads in our midst who would have been
satisfied to have let their city gone on
''Petering out" with the dry rot which had
so marked its history in eontradistinction
to the live towns Of Atchison and Leaven-
worth, where open saloons ceased to open
since the time when the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary. 't'Tis true
tbs pity; and pity tbs it's true" but our
obligations are none the less marked or
deep. For all the active, earnest support
given those gentlemen, some Of them for
years, we feel doubly repaid.

MAJORITY RULE.

The Wichita EAGLE, Republican paper
h kicking very hard against the only
means of making the only Republican
measure we have effective. 1t ought to bt
honest and join in with what the majority
deems proper to close the hell-holes of that
Ubiquitous city.-Junction City Union.
The red-headed editor of the Union has
known the editor of the EAGLE as a Re
publican and newspaper man for at least
twenty four years and in all that time he
never knew the editor of the EAGLE to
bolt his party or TO complain of the action
Of the majority" Many of the great and
leading Republican lights of the state dur
ing that time have been found outside of
the fold kicking like bay steers, but the
editor of the EAGLE has gulped down every
CAUCUS, every measure, every rascal and all
the idiots put up or sustained by the ma
jorfty of the party. Gov. Martid went off
after johnson, Senator ingalls, ran as an
Independent, and Senator Plumb espoused
the Greeley craze and our red headed critic
backed and busted a legislative Republican
caucus, but never did the editor of the
EAGLE, from the time he cast his first Re-
publican vote in 1857 against the Lacomp-
ton constitution to the present hour, bolt
party or scratch ticket. The editor of
the EAGLE even voted for st. John for
third term. How is that for loyalty? At
teWpts have been made to read all these
tilustrious men whom We have named out
Of the party for their open muinies. Last
week at Topeka, 1T was prepared by one
high in Republican councils, but by one
who has himself bolted his party on several
occasions, to read the editor of the EAGLE
out of the Republican party. Notice is
here and now given that the individual last
named has as an old and as straight
and IS clean Republican record as
any office holder in this state, and
that it is not therefore within the power of
any Republican, or click of Republicans,
to read him out of the party. And fur
ther, our dear red headed companion of
many political 'scrimmages' is informed
that the man or set of men who attempt to
read the editor of the EAGLE out of the
Republican party because he earnestly pro-
tested against minority rule, and de-
nounced an outrage perpetrated upon the
nrjority of the Republicans of Wichita
upon majority of its people-will have a
lively If not happy time.
No, George, We believe in majorities,
and Wichita is not an Ubiquitous city nor a
"'hell hole" but the highest city in Kan
sas, with more schools, more churches, and
a greater number of educational institu-
lions of high order of excellence build
ing than any city of her size in America.

| To the wichita Eagle:

Just now her within runs in the direction
of manufacturing industries True. she
has fair supply already. but the pasture is
so rich and SO rare that she has an ambit-
ion to make this the great manufacturing
center, as it is the commercial center of all
her vast tributary territory
Many are the industries which could
have been transplanted here but for one
principal obstacle, according to the obeer-
walton of your correspondent, and that was
that in very many, if not all cases, it was
asked that the citizens should take q Ger
tain proportion of stock. In many in
stances the required amount was sub
scribed and the plant located; but It is
bordering on the impossibilities for individ
uals to subscribe large blocks of stock in
every such worthy enterprise however
much they desire.
To overcome this obstacle would be, it
would seem, consummation greatly to be
desired.
In the absence of O better plan 1t is
humbly suggested that company be form
ed with an authorized capital of three or
five million dollars DIVIDED into small shares
of $25 each, to be paid in installments
upon assessment as needed, and that the
fund so raised be controlled by representa-
tive body of level headed business men or
directors and invested in stock of manu-
featuring institutions locating here. 1t
would be a great big stock company own
ing shares in great many industries, and
would enable the poorer classes to hold a
few shares and to such extent interest them
in the success of the institution.
There Is no reason why such stock would
not be profitable Investment of itself, be-
ing the factor in building up great manu-.
featuring center. Such plan, it appears,
would enable the mechanics and laborers
to be part owners in the institutions which |
employ them, and thus reduce the incentive |
to strikes and discomfort. Every lot owner
would certainly subscribe some stock.
Is 1t feasible? J. NJ. HUMPHREY.
